Great chat with @alcs_uk for their Author Matters Great chat with @alcs_uk for their Author Matters podcast - out 29 Jan. We were talking about the Royal Literary Fund’s generous grants available to writers in need. I’m slightly in denial about being in #lockdown in rainy Somerset!

Thought we might all need something to cheer us up Thought we might all need something to cheer us up... I found this quote in a wonderful book called 365 Days of Wonder by R.J. Palacio, author of the brilliant, Wonder. I'd highly recommend it, and the accompanying book of quotes.

I loved this psychological thriller by @gillymacmi I loved this psychological thriller by @gillymacmillan. Lucy has been haunted by the disappearance of her brother when she was a child, with many of the adults thinking she had something to do with what happened to him. It's mainly set in a wooded area of Bristol, and the description is wonderfully atmospheric. And as Lucy is a best-selling writer, I was even more intrigued! I highly recommend TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH - I couldn't put it down!

‘It’s notoriously more difficult to write abou ‘It’s notoriously more difficult to write about bad people than good ones. Cheer up your good boring people by making them love someone or something. Give them an interesting occupation. Good looks will help as will suffering at the hands of one of your bad people.’

Excellent writing advice from Ruth Rendell. I love writing about villains, but it’s hard to make the antagonist the protagonist and keep a reader’s sympathy. Patricia Highsmith is excellent at this.

We’ve cleared one field of dying ash and hogweed and are attempting, in a small way, to mitigate the loss of most of our orchards. This one is an apple called Katy. You might have drunk it in a pint of Thatchers!
